Harvin, Cunningham honored by SEC

Junior WB/RB Percy Harvin was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week by the league office on Monday, while teammate Jermaine Cunningham was named the Defensive Lineman of the Week.

Both were honored for their outstanding performances in Florida's 56-6 victory over South Carolina.

Harvin rushed for a career-high 167 yards, scoring a career-tying two rushing rushing touchdowns, in Florida’s 56-6 win over South Carolina.

Harvin’s 167 yards rushing against the Gamecocks are the most by any wide receiver in the nation this year against a Top 25 team. He has scored a touchdown in the past 12 games he has played in, tying for a national-best. His 80-yard rushing TD against South Carolina was a career-long.

Harvin leads the nation in yards per carry (9.2 / min. 5 carries per game).

Cunningham had a game-high eight tackles, including two for losses (-5 yards). He also had a forced fumble and a pass deflection and registered a half-sack (-2 yards).

The Gator defense limited South Carolina to only 53 yards rushing and did not allow USC to get into Florida territory until just over 11 minutes left in the second quarter. Florida held USC to three-and-out on eight possessions.
